A two day course on how to recognise the larger freshwater algae.
Participants will conduct field and laboratory-based exercises which will introduce them to the biology and identification of those freshwater algae most likely to be encountered during LEAFPACS and other freshwater surveys. An introduction to the use of macroalgae for rapid assessment will also be included.
